I would be surprised if there was more than a quarter of a point movement in interest rates between now and June. We were quote 3.99% at the Hershey Show but that rate may change between now and our delivery date in March/April. A quarter of a point is not a significant difference. On a $250,000 loan for 20 years, the difference in only about $30 a month.

Thanks! Who did you purchase from at Hershey? Our dealer quoted 4.79%. with wife pulling 850 credit score. Shocked me. Lol

You have plenty of time before closing, shop for your own financing. I've always been able to beat the dealers quoted rate, even at the same bank they were pushing.

We were told by RV one 3.99 and were giving excellent price. Never ran application with them so not sure it would be same. On short-term loans and based on amount being borrowed. We ended up going with new build and really liked dealership. They came very close to RV one price and they were able to get Newmar to upgrade chassis from 22000 to 24000. Overall extremely happy with process. They did give us 4.49

Anyone know of reputable dealer for Newmar on east coast? Thanks!

Probably no such thing, so just get your best deal that includes a PDI of your choice (not them). It's all about money, once your choice is made, since throwing money at it, will fix anything.

We purchased from RVOne at their Buffalo RV location. The difference may be our trade in which would amount to over a third of the purchase price. Our down payment being our trade reduces the risk for the lender. Our trade was free and clear.

Thanks so much for all the feedback. Think we have decided to go with new build (June) and hope rates stay in check. Will also be able to apply more money to down payment. Now if I don't drive myself nuts watching rates until then. Lol

June??? Wow, they must be BUSY!

I am in industrial sales and the economy from what I'm seeing is very healthy. Seeing this leads me to think the RV industry is doing ok too.

Yeah, from what I've gathered Newmar doesn't build a lot per month. They have a single plant. June is fine, just wish I had confidence that interest rates would stay in check.

I don't recall if you said what model you were looking for, but Ansley RV in Duncansville, PA has several listed as in stock.

I've purchased from them twice and had good dealings both times. Over the years their service has been very good. Their long time service Manager retired and took a lot of knowledge with him as often happens, but the new person seems to be doing pretty well. They sell a lot of units and their service shop is very busy so unless your problems are something that requires really quick reactions the wait is sometimes a little long. All that aside I have always been able to work out something when I needed a repair when passing through or something like that. I won't say that every time they jumped through hoops, but we were always able to find a solution that worked for both of us.

RV sales in general have gone through the roof. At the Hershey Show RVOne sold 52 Entegras and 65 Newmars. That was their biggest year ever at Hershey. I'm guessing that the backlog of orders is enough to possibly even delay the release of the 2019 models. Normally the last of the 2018's come off the line in March for Entegra and shortly thereafter for Newmar but this year they may still be making '18's to just keep up with the orders.
